The Review Score of 4.8 (maximum of 10) for Eridge House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Eridge House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0 out of 5 from 0 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.792 for Eridge House is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.792
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eridge House is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
0 = 0
Target of 8.6 positive Reviews (43 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 0 Reviews ÷ 8.6 Target = 0
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

The care provided for our mother was exemplary throughout her stay. The home was well maintained, friendly, responsive and entirely appropriate for her age and needs. Staff were seen to go the extra mile to care for her as an individual and she responded very well indeed from the start. When she became unwell, they adjusted their care immediately and continually and especially throughout her final days. They knew when it was appropriate to call in extra assistance but did not over-react to crises as they occurred. They demonstrated exemplary individual care and managed to get the best responses available from our mother at all stages.

From our first meeting the staff, especially the manager have been so reassuring and helpful not only to my mother in law but in supporting us the family. Settling in at first was difficult but my mother in law was helped in every way to make her feel at home and is now part of a very caring home. We are always welcomed and nothing is too much trouble and we are even included in afternoon tea and cakes when we visit. Eridge House has taken a lot of the pressure off when having to deal with a very stressful situation and I cannot thank them enough.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Graham (Son of Resident) on Thursday 10 March 2016. Relates to March 2016.
My mother was very resistant to even trying a Care home. Eventually, in poor general health and after illness, she agreed to a short stay. After 3 days in Eridge she changed her mind completely. The initial fears were dispelled because of the comfort, meals, new friends and enjoyment that she never realised she was missing. It was important to me that it became her choice and decision to move into Eridge rather than feeling she was being abandoned. But dementia then set in and now, after two strokes, she needs a total care regime. Eridge adjusted their support and care progressively without fuss. Now she needs help feeding and drinking and absolutely everything else. I visit frequently, often daily and she is always clean and contented. She is checked frequently being unable to operate the call bell. She still responds to animals and Eridge make sure that such therapy visitors to the home always go along to her room. Nothing is too much trouble and I rate the staff as the very best.

My mother whilst at Eridge House was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The home allowed her to stay as they said it was her home. They were so supportive of my mum and also ourselves as her relatives. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the last two days she got excellent care and supported us while we sat by her bedside, I thought that good Samaritan's no longer existed but they certainly do. Thank you to all the team. My rating: above average.
